We've now been twice... once to eat in and once to take away. The eat-in experience was nice. There isn't much parking out front, but if you go around back there are a few more spots, although it looks like many people just park along the street. We were seated really quickly and I have to say I love the booths that are meant to look like boats. They are clearly made for large groups, but I really wanted to sit in one :). The menu has something for everyone... so if you aren't a fan of seafood, you won't be left out. Really the menu looked similar to a pub menu with mixed grills, burgers, and pie, but they also had some enticing salads and vegetarian options.
There was a bit of confusion on who our waiter/waitress was, but eventually our order was taken. Since we were probably both getting fish and chips, we decided to have the Admiral's Platter which serves two. It comes with two pieces of fish, a bowl of chips, calamari, and a trio of prawns. It was beautifully presented and looked delicious. The fish was good and we liked the prawns (I especially liked the breaded ones... it was like it had a coconut breading). The chips were quite soggy and weren't very warm and the calamari wasn't very crispy on the outside... in fact it looked a bit oil logged. However, we were quite full on just the fish and prawns alone.
The take away experience was not as great. This place is clearly a very popular place with the locals, which means that the queue can be quite long. People were standing all over the place, so it was difficult to find the queue, there were people cutting the queue... it was really more hassle than it was worth. The fish and chips were nice, but I think we are going to stick to our usual place for now. read more
